What are the best ways (If any) to change the look of a 1994 Celica for under $200?
The celica in question is named "The Beater" on my profile if you want to check it out.

C'mon cheela give him a better option than that man. If ur trying to think outside the box but also attempt at DIY, I'd recommend trying to go different I.e. body kit from another car of similar shape like the eclipse and some fiberglass and bondo. But if ur trying to keep the overall look of the celica the are a few options such as the st205 front end conversion, or the ssIII or preface lift conversion. Either of these option tho attractive and functional will cost u a pretty penny. There really isn't a such thing as a low cost build when it comes to this hobby. I'd recommend make a plan how u want ur end project to look and function but also budget and take in account the funds it will require to complete it as well. Good luck and tho this probably wasn't the answer you were looking for I hope it helped in some sort of way.

lol laugh.gif well looking at the pics. It is the best option though. To give a better look overall, I think plastidipping the car would really make it look better. Alot better than $200 for one front bumper and have faded paint all over or even a really nice set of tails. and 200 won't give you a paintjob but I guess depending on what the op has in store.
